The Healthcare Common Prodecure Coding System (HCPCS) is a

products and services which may be provided to Medicare
beneficiaries and to individuals enrolled in private health
insurance programs. The codes are divided into two
levels, or groups, as described Below:

Level I
Codes and descriptors copyrighted by the American Medical
Association's current procedural terminology, fourth
edition (CPT-4). These are 5 position numeric codes
representing physician and nonphysician services.

**** NOTE: ****
CPT-4 codes including both long and short descriptions
shall be used in accordance with the CMS/AMA agreement.
Any other use violates the AMA copyright.

Level II
Includes codes and descriptors copyrighted by the

(CDT-2018). These are 5 position alpha-numeric codes
comprising the d series. All level II codes and descriptors
are approved and maintained jointly by the alpha-numeric
editorial panel (consisting of CMS, the Health
Insurance Association of America, and the Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Association).

primarily items and nonphysician services that are not
